No.&nbsp; 7 years isn't that big a difference that you wouldn't have much to talk about.

<p><strong>Nothing wrong with it.</strong>&nbsp; My fiancee is 10 years younger than I am.&nbsp; When we met she was 22 and I was 32. We get along great and are looking forward to a life together.</p><p>If you are not planning on a long term commitment, even better IMO.&nbsp; You are both adults and can have a lot of fun.&nbsp; The older you get the less 5 or 10 years will make.</p><p>Of course everybody might think I'm a dirty old bastard now...</p>

<font size="2">when i was 31 i broke up with a 39 year old lady and started dating a 23 year old gal.&nbsp; we've been married for 2 years now, so i'd say there's nothing wrong with that age disparity.&nbsp; i also dated a 19 year old when i was 27, but that was never a serious thing. </font>

Dude, if you can actually relate to a woman who is twenty two, I say more power too ya. Maybe you can put together some legos or watch Dora the Explorer together.

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>It depends on the two of you. Are you done partying all weekend? She probably isn't. Can you see yourself in something serious? She probably can't.</p><p>You have done the things you wanted and gotten past them, she has just got to the age where she is finally able to live her life. If you can handle that she will want to do things that encompass 'growing up' while you've already grown up (assumeably) then there shouldn't be a problem.</p><p>Just don't let your age and experience hold her back.&nbsp;</p>

[Doctor Z]

C'mon...

[narc]

It depends on relative maturity. I find such things a little distasteful myself. I dated a gal 4 years older than me and that was a little tough to take. And I felt like she would hold that over me occasionally. But she sucked.

No, nothing wrong with it at all.&nbsp; But from past experience, I will let you know that the younger person, not right away but if your together for a few years lets say, they will start to feel that they are missing out on something with someone more their age.&nbsp;

I did it (same age situation).&nbsp; It was fun at first but after a while there began to be a noticeable age difference.

Wherever you can find happiness in this world, take it.&nbsp;

<p>FYI - The mathematical equation for men to figure out if the girl is too young is to divide your age by 2 and then add 7.&nbsp; Anything younger than the resulting number is considered robbing the cradle, over is fair game.&nbsp; </p><p>For example, if you're 30, 30/2 =15+7=22.</p><p>You're in the clear if you're only 29.&nbsp;</p>

[IamFogHat]

I say no (meaning no it's not too young). It's well over the 'legal' age and at twenty two, especially for a girl, you have a good chance of someone beginning to reach a mentally mature age. Go for it budday.
